that’s probably very far in the future

someone is still gonna hold the power anyway

what is the solution then? iMessage become an open platform?

Zedge comes to mind. A site for buying ringtones (among other things like notification tones and wallpapers) or at least barred you from downloading the “premium” ones without subscription.

This won’t work on android because changing icon is trivial lmao

I mean, when asked for something like this and the quick answer was Everything, you’d wonder if the OP meant the voidtools’ file search software ‘Everything’ or just… everything. At least provide a quick explanation of the usage, 1 sentence is usually enough.

RadioGarden as well

the API isn’t free, corporation use for navigation paid huge amount to Google for their maps.

and also from

I use it since they cripple the NSFW access for 3rd party apps, and most of my front page are videos, it loads so… slooww… and tapping one video will bring you to this tiktok-like interface where if you swipe up it’ll load the next video in that subreddit instead of the next post in my front page.

comparing that to Sync for Reddit that doesn’t experience any stutter and loads the video blazing fast, the experience really feels like a downgrade…

there are also the little stuffs like less customizability for color schemes, hiding awards, comment padding, font sizes, font styles, etc.

two movies came to me pretty vividly,

Spirited Away (2001), no-face is pretty scary even now, but the scene that disturbs me is at the beginning when Chihiro came back and find her parents have turned into pigs…

MirrorMask (2005), fittingly I watched this when I was sick with high fever and for so long I thought this movie was a fever dream, it haunted me for days until my fever subsides. I don’t remember anything about the plot, just that the atmosphere and aesthetic are nauseating

Playing it makes me realize I really can’t multitask (aiming for enemies and shooting to rhythm) lol

I imagine people are gonna abuse it for posting highly controversial takes that’s borderline immoral if not illegal… People already do even with associated username, imagine if it’s untraceable (by regular users) back to you. The nazis are gonna come out en masse, both who are trolling and actually serious. Seems like a moderation nightmare.

What about Detroit? I’m not even remotely near US and I see a lot of stereotype about Detroit

Nah man, my friend plays GTA and the next morning he got hit by a bicycle, that’s very dangerous

And translate feature for titles and comments.

this one is probably gonna have to use a translation service that isn’t free and would ask for subscription / ongoing cost.

Then they’ll turn their gaze to the Fediverse

DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN

more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they’re already thriving. I’ll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.

in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community… ask those in /c/reddit instead

you only need to maintain the community if you make one, similar to a moderator role in reddit (also called mods here though lol), there’s no cost there but you also don’t get paid, just like reddit mods. Only the server admins maintain the server, and if it gets bigger, all the costs are on the admins. That’s why they open donation channels, and you can support them through that.

note : server admins, each server has their own admins. For example, you’re on lemmy.ml, that one has their own admin, but I’m replying from lemmy.world (magic of the fediverse) which has different guy as admin. You can just support the server you’re in.

the downside is that if an admin (or several, maybe some servers are run by a group, I don’t know) can’t no longer support a server, any data including your account in that server is gone. Hopefully a ‘migration’ feature can be implemented in the future.

I think where you are (country) is kinda relevant?

I even have no idea who this guy is lol
